Jump out the boss's window screaming, "Take this job and shove it!"

Always quit nicely. You never know what might happen. Even though you don't believe so now, you might actually want to come back later on. They might even offer you better conditions or opportunities to stay - so if you are rude and aggressive that definitely wouldn't be offered. A good reference is worth it's weight in gold so be courteous and nice even if you have to bull**** to get that. Think of some reasons that will not hurt or insult others because they will want to know why you are leaving. If they don't ask then don't tell but if they ask then things like more opportunity, closer to home, to gain more experience, that you are getting bored and need change, better hours or something like that.
Hey -
good luck.

It all depends on how much you hate your current job and boss and if you have a new job lined up - if those boxes are ticked, then the take-no-prisoners approach of yelling abuse ("Take this job and shove it" etc), deleting computer databases and raiding the stationary supplies could be called for ;)
If you liked your job and boss, quit nicely and give plenty of notice so you can get a reference - or return if things don't work out....

I think the best way is to just hand in your written notice with a brief thankyou and reason why your leaving. That way you'll leave the company on good terms and get go reference for other jobs or if the company really doesn't want you to leave then they'll probably offer you a payrise to keep you on board.

Because looking for a job while you are employed is not cheating and you job doesn't have feelings. Another thing, you NEED a job to support yourself. You don't need a relationship. Actually sometimes it's best to be alone between relationships.

I think pretending you're going to become a pirate is the best:
Dear Chris
After an appropriate period of deliberation, I have come to the decision to tender my resignation, effective from a month today.
Please know that I still maintain a high level of respect for you as a manager and colleague, and I thank you sincerely for the support and assistance you have offered me in each of those roles. I have been proud to work for the company over the past eight years; it has been a journey that has provided me an unparalleled foundation to move forward to new and exciting opportunities.
As such, I have decided to become a professional pirate. It has always been a dream of mine to live the life of a swashbuckling corsair, beholden to none and master of all I survey. Once my crew of unabashed rogues is assembled, we shall take to the capacious expanse of the high seas to pursue fortune, fame, and hair-raising adventure.
Our path may not be filled with the porcine comforts and technological marvels that your company provides, but we shall nonetheless move forward to carve a name for ourselves in the annals of bold insurgency and death-defying derring-do. Once I have a keen blade at my hip and the Jolly Roger is flapping high above me, I believe I will find my true calling.
Please note that I am currently accepting applications for First Officer, if you are at all interested in applying. I will provide a full medical and dental plan, which will offer immediate coverage of all maladies other than scurvy and the occasional bout of rickets.
Yours Sincerely

Depends on whether you want to burn your bridges or not. If you do, then do it creatively rather than literally. Timing is everything and most importantly, the manner in which you do it should make a lasting impression on your boss. You know your job sucks so use every second to plan that last exit for the greatest possible effect. (I suggest you keep it legal - you have quit, not your work dossier.)

Leave on good terms what goes around comes around.
Any grand standing will just show them what a brat you were.
It really isn't anywhere near as much an issue to them as you. If you think you can cause a big stir in this day and age then you are deluding yourself. People leave jobs everyday.

Like the majority of the rest I would suggest you do it in a friendly manner because you never know what is around the corner. The job that you thought was going to be the "bees knees" may turn out to be a "lemon".
And remember, that your current boss today could also be your new boss in the future.

Never quit your job....get yourself fired that way you are entitled to any severance that the company may offer. If you quit that is considered voluntary and the company most likely will not offer any type of severance pay.
